optinal XML elements in simple transformation

Former Member — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:33:18 GMT

Hello,

I want to perform a deserialization (XML to ABAP) using simple transformation.

Some of the XML elements are optinal - they can optionally appear in the XML structure.

Example:

<X>

<Y>

</Y>

</X>

Can be delivered as:

<X>

</X>

So that Y element is optional.

How is it possible to handle it?

Thanks in advance,

Sergey

Something like this:


...
        <tt:cond frq="?">
          <Y>
            <tt:value ref="Y"/>
          </Y>
        </tt:cond>
